This
film is a classic.
It unearths the real story behind what we see on TV. It includes
the people wanting to break into the business. The people
who have made it in the business and finally the people who
are very close to their retirement.
Jake 'The Snake' Roberts comes across as the victim of the
industry as he is seen totally out of shape working independent
shows and addicted to the drugs that he used at his peak.
Mick Foley comes across as a great family man especially after
he witnesses his children's reaction to his fight at the Royal
Rumble against The Rock.

The final person looked at is Terry Funk who is seen competing
at ECW's first Pay Per View show in 1997 and announcing that
its time to retire or as wrestlers say in their matches to
finish the match; 'GO HOME!
Funnily enough, it is now the year 2000 and since this part
of the film was made Terry has worked for WWF and then back
to ECW and now he is working for the WCW. So much for retiring!
The
tag of being 'The Film Vince McMahon Didn't Want You To See!'
shows how in depth it is. However, I still don't think it
is better than 'Hitman Hart; Wrestling With Shadows' although
I am sure there are many of you who would disagree with me.
To quote WWF; 'GET IT!'
